    A really good footballer tbh. Just guessing but Keane, who in my opinion was an awful coach, didnt do him justice. Shame really, as he had the attributes to be a modern day full back.

    I read an interview with him a while back and there was an issue with Keane.

    I believe one of the clubs I had some involvement with at the time enquired about signing him a season or two back, which I would have loved. Carlos Edwards was playing in the same league at the time too.

    No doubt he can do a promotion job. He has a track record. Whether he can do so with style is the question. I never disliked his dour mentality, just his stagnant style of football. Neil is an identikit ot him. We saw a coach in Johnson, in between the two, who was at other end of the spectrum. There has to be a middle ground. Players, imo, hate a defensive functional style. They also hate losing. Mowbray cracked it, Regis looks like he will too.

    Ticket sales for Boro already over 40,000 ...
